The rain has ended just in time for trick or treating this evening. It will be cloudy with seasonal temperatures in the 60s this evening. Be aware that patchy fog may develop late in the evening. #txwx #nmwx

The Big Bend border wall has been paused by court order since early October. But @MarfaRadio found out CBP quietly paused part of the project even before that, amid struggles to get private land access and a contractor's push for more money. From @mkcant: marfapublicradio.org/border-…

A Flood Watch is in effect through Friday evening. Showers move in this evening and become widespread overnight into Friday morning. 1-2" of rain is possible, with localized amounts as high as 3". This may lead to flooding. Rain will gradually taper off Friday afternoon. #TXwx

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today, mainly in SE New Mexico and portions of far west Texas. Cloud cover will help limit storm coverage and severity, but a couple may still become strong to marginally severe. #txwx #nmwx

A new report by the Houston Advanced Research Center warns that Texas' air quality progress could be reversed by the end of the decade, especially if facilities use natural gas power. bit.ly/4sn7XkE

Unless you're along the New Mexico state line, if you were hoping for big rains, chances don't look too promising. This chart shows the probability of receiving a quarter inch or more on Sunday #lubwx

Just in: Big Bend area border wall construction remains blocked. Trump admin asked a judge to lift her earlier block on construction - she said no. The government has threatened to try and take the case to SCOTUS - so now we'll see if that happens: storage.courtlistener.com/re…

Texas voter registrations hit a record high of over 19 million ahead of the midterm election on Nov. 3. The jump comes amid a series of state and local actions that have threatened voter registrations statewide. texastribune.org/2026/10/16/…

Texas county officials said they learned Thursday about another state error that has backlogged thousands of voter registration records. The total number of backlogged records wasn’t immediately available, but the secretary of state’s office told election officials that not all counties were impacted. bit.ly/4hQS7v6

New: as Big Bend border wall plans remain blocked by a federal judge - the Trump admin says it'll seek to escalate the issue to SCOTUS unless the judge rules by Wednesday on the admin's separate request to let construction move forward: storage.courtlistener.com/re…

An under-discussed hurdle the Trump admin has faced in its Big Bend area border wall plans - pushback from the state agency that manages a lot of the land in the wall's path. Great story: insideclimatenews.org/news/1…
Replying to @psskow @TXGLO
The GLO manages a checkerboard of land along the U.S.-Mexico border in Hudspeth, Presidio and Brewster Counties, all targeted for either a steel wall or vehicle barriers. The blue parcels in these maps are all GLO land.
